My Neteller commission payment was blocked in the UK. Does anyone know if Neteller has stopped accepting gambling payments in the UK, because I used to use them for my commission payments about 15 years ago?
Also, which other payment wallets still accept gambling payments in the UK?
There has been a huge problem not only with UK, but whole Europe regarding payments of aff. comissions with Skrill and Neteller for the last couple of months.
My suggestion is BTC wallet of Registered Bank Account.
Payment wallets in UK now - it is pretty hard too, as all the authorities are getting too strict and killing all the small and medium affiliates.
I thought so. What do you think about a Crypto to Debit Card service like Wirex?
I got a payment into Neteller back in mid December, but I can't withdraw it as they're asking for a 'Routing Code' which UK banks don't use. So it's currently sitting there while they 'look into it'. Happy to switch from Neteller if they're going to be a pain about this going forwards, but I wish they'd told me before effectively confiscating my commissions!
Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to remove Neteller from my list of payment options going forward.
Why do not you make a virtual card and top up with it some other account of yours?Quote:

From what I remember you may also convert the funds in your NETeller account to Crypto and transfer to Crypto wallet
That's how I do it as well. Neteller > crypto > bank/card
Thanks for the suggestion, but how do you withdraw from Neteller to a virtual card? The only options it gives me are Bank (not working), Skrill (dubious) and Pay to website.Quote:

Then use this card to top up some of the new shiny bank apps like Revolut. It cost exactly zero, it is instant. Revolut will not ask in this case where the money come from, because they are paid from your own card. And also Neteller/Paysafe is even happy because they get their fees. I am nearly sure other apps (N26, Monzo etc.) allow the top up of the account via cards as well for free. SOme old school banks might provide this as well.
No crypto is necessary. Probability that BTC will go higher is now - after run - relatively low indeed. Still +EV bet, but far from surebet as it was in April. Wake up people for god's sake. Buy low and sell high, not the vice versa as 99% of other people. Not that I am selling my BTC now, but already I am cashing fiat whenever I can as affiliate payments. By cashing out of neteller crypto is an overkill. There is zero reson to want BTC for 29K when you did not want it for 4K few months ago. The few billionaires who bought it and who are shilling it now are not a significant milestone. Neither is Paypal. Neither is anything you read about. All those things that are happening now around BTC were destined to happen. Even moneyprinting was sure when recession arrived. Panic buying and hodling is not the way to make money. Following the herd is never a way to make money. The bubble of 2017 is going to be repeated, hopefully in a milder form, but do not be the victim of it.
I've created a Revolut account and applied for a Net+ card from Neteller. I'm hopeful that it will be straightforward enough to transfer the balance across somehow, but I'll wait and see how many obstacles Neteller put in the way!Quote:

But thanks for your advice!
A "routing code" is what mist banks except Americans would refer to as a BIC / Swift code. You can find this easily via putting your bank account number into an IBAN calculator / your IBAN into an IBAN checker. Then taking the Swift / Bic codeQuote:

I thought that, but Neteller wouldn't accept either BIC, Swift or IBAN as a valid routing code.Quote:

I'm using the account I've used every month for the past 5 years! I'm not trying to set up a new account, or using VPNs or anything tricky, just trying to withdraw to my usual account. They've admitted it's an error which they're working on, but it seems to be taking a long time!Quote:

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
I receive my affiliate payments through Bitcoin (Blockchain) and then I transfer them to my account that's with another cryptocurrency exchange (coinbase in the UK as an example for you) and then to my bank.
